I am not sure where the Chocs were the first half, maybe floating on their First Round Laurels.

The second half has been more like the usual Choctaws.

The Chocs had more spark and more energy.

Final Miss College 69, MURVUL 51.

Now the big question...

Is 28-1 good enough a record to host a sectional?

I will be very surprised if they get a Sectional!

I will send Pat Coleman a half-dozen steaks if Miss College hosts the Sectional!    8).
(The drama heightens!)

The announcers commented about the Miss College defense and the breakaways.

I get the opinion from the Murvul announcers that they haven't seen this type of basketball this season.  Apparently the speed of play that we have in the ASC is much faster and more athletic than in the GSAC.

The announcers commented about how the Scots could not get their passes around the top of the Chocs' defense.  Chocs held the Scots to only 21% on 3FG. 

The Chocs' Timothy Bloomfield played behind the Scots and was able to defend Murvul as they apparently had not seen.

MC had 11 steals and 5 blocks and totally dominated Murvul in the second half.  I get the impresson that the Scots do not see that much pressing defense in the GSAC.   Whether Calloway would have made a difference is another question.


Jimmy and George do a great job on the broadast.  They repeat the score and time frequently.  Their voices broadcast well.  I have enjoyed listening to them the last 2 games.  Thanks to Jimmy and George.

Ralph,

Thanks...I/we appreciate all the updating!  Why do you say you'd be surprised it MC got to host a sectional?

How many other teams have lost only one game?

Go Choctaws!

Congratulations...

Geographic proximity!  Why fly 3 teams to Clinton when MC can be flown to wherever!
